Author Lomazow’s FDR Unmasked offers insights on some secrecy to reveal a man battling more than just political pressures. Through hidden medical records and personal correspondence, Lomazow shows us a Roosevelt who’s not only shaping the free world but also fighting his own body.

Lomazow’s writing isn't just about digging through archives, but tells a story of resilience and deception. The book makes me wonder how history might have turned out differently if FDR had been in better health.

It’s definitely a page-turner that’s as educational as it is fascinating. Give it a read; it’s sure to change how you view one of America’s most studied presidents.

The fact that so much is divulged about Eleanor and all the great Tidbits you learn about FDR including the coverups I don’t know why they focused on the medical because this book is full of lots of great things from his snub in Harvard to the secrets divulge by his ex-girlfriend Alice and her ability to procreate all the way to the 1940 scandalous convention and the lies they told to get him a fourth term.
